As it happens Fedora 41 is the distro on which I finally got my newest Tor relay running, so I've named it mapku, Lojban for "hat".

No Vivaldi, so back to Firefox. Hey there, old buddy, long time no see! Installed 1Password, hence I am writing to y'all now. This is Fedoraland, not Debian. Very nice softly blue geometric default background, easy on the eyes. Suits my aesthetic. Ultramarine's umbrellas were a bit too twee, and I didn't want to send too much time banging on the command line. Your mileage may vary.

I lied. I never have used Arch. Settled on Fedora for Computer the Elder, which'll run Tor & BOINC 100%. Good to distrohop occasionally. Sticking with Mint on main.

So relatively recently I thought of trying out Linux, and then the whole Recall thing got announced, which pushed me even more in this direction. I'm not ready for a complete switch just yet, but I did make a dual boot with Windows 10 on one side and Fedora on the other.

There's an issue I consistently have, though. Whenever I boot into Fedora, the first app I open (which is usually Firefox) takes ages to load. After that it's fine (for the most part, more of that in a bit), but when I first access Firefox, a good 3-5 minutes is spent on waiting for it to allow me to do anything.

Now that alone is not that big of an issue, if it's just a few minutes and just whenever I first boot into Linux that day. But for the past couple days, on top of this, I get frequent "Not responding" on stuff like Firefox and Files. It would probably do the same thing on other stuff, but I don't have a bunch of apps installed yet, so I wouldn't know. It's gotten to a point where I have my tablet within arm's reach in case Fedora decides that I won't be able to use my PC for like 5 minutes. Especially cause I can't even forcefully close the program and reopen it. Even that takes a long time, so I might as well just let it recover on its own.

But I'm not sure why this is happening? Any other Linux users (particularly Fedora users) that have encountered this as well?

It's been an exciting week y'all. I don't mean to gloat but a couple of really exciting updates in my life:

+ I finally got out of my ITIL based roles and landed a new job as a Cyber Systems Engineer

+ I finally installed Fedora GNOME on a Microsoft Surface Go 2 that I picked up on the FB marketplace

Might blog some more soon and try out some #fedoralinux atomic desktops.
